Car accidents are all too common in Houston, with busy highways like I-45, I-10, and Highway 59 seeing collisions daily. For victims, the aftermath can be overwhelming—medical bills, lost wages, and stress about recovery. At BACY LAW PLLC, we stand by accident victims to protect their rights and fight for the compensation they deserve. Attorney Akilah, a skilled trial lawyer and passionate advocate, understands both the legal and human side.
Step 1: Check for Injuries and Call 911. Your health and safety come first. Always call emergency services if anyone is hurt, and seek medical attention immediately—even if symptoms are minor.
Step 2: Move to Safety and Call Police. Move vehicles out of traffic if possible. A police report provides crucial evidence for insurance and legal claims.
Step 3: Gather Evidence. Take photos of vehicles, injuries, and the scene. Collect driver, passenger, and witness contact information. These details may prove essential in your case.
Step 4: Avoid Admitting Fault. Even apologizing can be used against you. Stick to the facts when speaking with officers or other drivers.
Step 5: Contact BACY LAW PLLC. Insurance companies often push for quick settlements that don’t cover your true damages. A personal injury lawyer will fight for fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.
